Synopsis

Wraith Squadron soars back into action, on a full-throttle mission to match wits and weapons with an Imperial General gone rogue.

Wraith Squadron: The elite X-wing unit of rogues and misfits who became legends of the Rebellion, specializing in carrying out the most dangerous and daring operations before breaking up and going their separate ways. Now, three decades later, their singular skills are back in demand for a tailor-made Wraith Squadron mission.

A powerful general in the Galactic Alliance Army, once renowned for his valor, is suspected of participating in a conspiracy that nearly succeeded in toppling the Alliance back into the merciless hands of the Empire. With orders to expose and apprehend the traitor—and license to do so by any and all means—the Wraiths will become thieves, pirates, impostors, forgers . . . and targets, as they put their guts, their guns, and their riskiest game plan to the test!

Goodreads review by Janine on June 18, 2012

Words can't even begin to express how much I loved this book. Only Aaron Allston can make you laugh and cry in the same paragraph and also make you wish you could bleach from your mind the vision of a Gamorrean doing an exotic strip tease (hence the laughing and crying). And that's just the opening p......more

Goodreads review by Sam on August 22, 2012

The original X-Wing novels were a breath of fresh air. Instead of beating the dead horse that was the rapidly tiring saga of Luke, Han and Leia, Michael A. Stackpole (and subsequently Aaron Allston) abandoned the 'big three' for the hitherto unsung starfighter pilots of Rogue and Wraith Squadron, an......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on October 18, 2013

Thank the Force! Wraith Squadron is back! Aaron Allston is one of my favorite Star Wars writers and Wraith Squadron one of my favorite properties in the expanded universe. While noble Jedi and daredevil Corellian pilots abound in the Star Wars galaxy, Allston’s espionage squad is distinguishably snea......more

Goodreads review by DiscoSpacePanther on February 08, 2017

Aaron Allston's (sadly) last contribution to the X-Wing arc is a fitting send-off for the Wraiths. Plotwise it is a much more infiltration and deception based story, with almost zero X-Wing -based starfighter battles, than the previous novels in the series. Which doesn't mean to say that it lacks ac......more

Goodreads review by Meggie on December 07, 2023

For 2023, I decided to reread the post-NJO books set after the Dark Nest trilogy, especially as I abandoned the Legacy of the Force series after Sacrifice all the way back in 2007. This shakes out to the nine books of the Legacy of the Force series, the nine books of the Fate of the Jedi series, thr......more
